Like a respawn in a video game, I want to ctb and start a new life (AKA Reincarnation)

[ToTheTwillight]

Life is like a video game, you get spawn to a certain life, and if you don't like it, you ctb, and start a new one.

 

[MatthieuFrederickW]

That's exactly how I'm thinking and where I'm at right now.

 

[FuneralCry]

Sounds horrifying, I only wish to permanently cease existing, I don't see life as being something desirable or worth having under any circumstances especially as in this hellish reality there is no limit as to how much one can suffer.

 

[Sockeye Salmon]

What's the point if you're just going to reappear in the same terrible world with the same brain?

 

[leavingsoon99]

This is interesting. It lends credence to the idea of ancient philosophy which admonishes one NOT to fear death. To a lot of non-western cultures, death is but a door to somewhere else. That may be true. I'd only want to "respawn" in another life if I can take the knowledge that I learned from the previous one and that knowledge can be applicable to the new one.

Makes sense if it's a pain free and an ideal existence for me. But if it's some kind of a stereotypical isekai thing. No thanks.

After life is either eternal sleep forever or an ideal painless existence for me... Former is rational, latter is authentic for me. Hell is just fictitious.

 

[Kundalini Guy]

That's what I believe and would want to be true. I want to be reborn again, being the same person is fine but not having shitty people around me would be good.

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

how many times do you think you'd have to reset before you get the life you want?

 

[voyager]

Wouldn't mind going back to junctions in my life where I believe I messed up just to see a different outcome or if I was always destined to fail. But, of course, only under the condition that I don't overwrite my recent "autosave" progress, as in today (!). Gamers will know what I'm talking about and how annoying it is to lose a few hours worth, let alone several decades...

As a sort of bonus I could kill myself in different ways and present my findings here. Pressing F9 (quickload) when things get too uncomfortable...

The chances of even getting the ideal life or whatever is quite low I'd imagine.

Hurts to read these words, but sadly they are true, more likely than not you would not get a life you want and you'll need to respawn over

So many how many times you wanna have a go at this because I'm settled with this being my only time in existence. Also it's a long line since I'd imagine people who died in wars or were enslaved for life would want an ideal life or whatever that entails.

it would be really exhausting if you carried off your previous life, but the reality is that you don't know nothing about the previous life or carry any burden from it, so it's always a complete new clean slate when you start. I don't necessarily need the best, just be a neurotypical who can have normal social life and career is good enough.

My biggest issue in life is statistically unlikely (being trans) - but obviously if I wasn't trans in the next life, I could just as easily be a child soldier, or etc etc etc.

Looks like someone understands samsara :p

 

[yamutenshi]

sounds nice... its another chance at life that is fucked-up beyond repair right now. i think thoughts and concepts like these make letting go and finally cbting a bit easier, reassuring in a way.

Count me out of completely existing in any way, be it a person with a social life and career which are both things you could obtain now, one or the other if either one is possible which it is. I mean, even then what's to say that a new life will be any better than your current one, there's no law in place that says you'll get another start with better circumstances, let alone continue to exist but as a completely new being unaware of your previous life. You could end up in worse circumstance than you currently have right now. Reincarnation makes no sense but I suppose since people would want something more than what they have right now, maybe hoping for another life after they've taken their final breath in this one is what gives them comfort.

Well I'm blacklisted in my career by evil corporates, so can't really have that. As far as social stuff goes, tried so hard, and at the end found myself with no girlfriends and barely to no one keeping in touch with me, unless I really put the leg work which barely holds up for it. At age of 37, it doesn't get better moving forward in my situation. I choose respawn to a new life of a neurotypical, if you can't become the next president or billionaire.

I understand the career and social part which is why I have no friends at all but that was because I don't mind being an unknown tp people because I cant be bothered to trust people enough to allow them close enough as more than just an acquaintance. Don't really care for girlfriends either, had a relationship decade ago and it never crossed my mind since to care about it nor do I even entertain the thought of caring about anyone that way.

I do feel for your situation and understand why you'd want a do-over but I see no reason to be convinced it's even possible for it to happen in a way where favorable circumstances will allow you to live the life you've wanted as a neurotypical, let alone that it's possible at all.

 

[Dying Knight]

Life is like a video game, you get spawn to a certain life, and if you don't like it, you ctb, and start a new one.

After respawning you preserve your memories about the previous virtual life, after dying IRL you most likely lose all your memories, so virtual and real deaths differ a lot. Since I think that my memories determine my identity, nobody in his future life can be me because he won't have my memories. If there exist any other commonalities between me and some future person born after my death, they are just not important enough for making any valuable difference between interpreting his life as continuation of mine or an entirely independent one.

 

[Lys_C15H25N3O_d3]

be careful what you wish for

 

[MatthieuFrederickW]

I've always believe also that after our physical death we're reincarnated (or reborn) into an entirely different universe, and I don't mean another part of this multiverse either, but a whole different reality altogether.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

That is what I am hoping for because I know life can be amazing under the right circumstances so in the words of Zyzz (picture below if it works)

 

[leavingsoon99]

That's what I believe and would want to be true. I want to be reborn again, being the same person is fine but not having shitty people around me would be good.

I would want to know what I know now on some level. At least enough to make a lot of different decisions. And, yes, minus the shitty people I had would be a big plus.

 

[bigdipper420]

These are what i would love to discuss for the end of time i believe we all deserve chances at life for those who may want to experience things differently for the first time again

 

[Darkover]

either rebith or nothing forever and since there is stuff coming out of nothing i don't believe you'll be nothing forever life just down to random chance

 

[Foreverix]

I think the idea of eternal recurrence could be a reality. But no one would ever know.

 

[NoHorizon]

Wouldn't mind going back to junctions in my life where I believe I messed up just to see a different outcome or if I was always destined to fail.

If you're into books and haven't read The Midnight Library, I'd recommend it - it basically deals with this scenario and I found it a really good read as a depressed person that feels like I've made the wrong choice for so many key decisions in my life.
